1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: The goals of this scoping review were to determine the source of data used to develop AI-based algorithms with emphasis on natural language processing, establish their application in different areas of vascular surgery and identify a target audience of published journals. Materials and methods: A literature search was carried out using established database from January 1996 to March 2023. Results: 342 peer-reviewed articles met the eligibility criteria. NLP algorithms were described in 34 papers, while 115 and 193 papers focused on machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), respectively. The AI-based algorithms found widest application in research related to aorta (126 articles), carotid disease (85), and peripheral arterial disease (65). Image-based data were utilised in 216 articles, while 153 and 85 papers relied on medical records, and clinical parameters. The AI algorithms were used for predictive modelling (123 papers), medical image segmentation (118), and to aid identification, detection, and diagnosis (103). Discussion: Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are gaining traction in healthcare, including vascular surgery. While most healthcare data is in the form of narrative text or audio recordings, natural language processing (NLP) offers the ability to extract information from unstructured medical records. This can be used to develop more accurate risk prediction models, support shared-decision model, and identify patients for trials to improve recruitment. Conclusion: Utilisation of different data sources and AI technologies depends on the purpose of the undertaken research. Despite the abundance of available of textual data, the NLP is disproportionally underutilised AI sub-domain in vascular surgery.
